The Dream of the Hyacinthine
Nest robbers think macaw feathers
are currency, the young are loot;
they wait for noisy overhead
rattle clatter of the parents, climb
a jury-rigged ladder, cherrypick
the unfortunate brood, and kidnap
them to some air picaroon.
(“The Dream of the Hyacinthine” from Sirens and Seriemas 2015)
